I got an estimated financial aid award letter earlier this week.
Did anyone else get anything? Like is it a rolling basis?

Hi! If I'm interviewing this week, should I assume an automatic waitlist after the fact? I just feel like there's no time for them to discuss our applications before the last acceptance day on Wednesday 3/23. Just want to set my expectations realistically.

What do you mean by last acceptance day? 👀

I tried to go back in the thread and find the screenshot someone posted of all the dates Miami makes publically available and couldn't find it. But basically, every other Wednesday is an acceptance call day where the committee meets and then starts making calls at 5 PM EST. I remember seeing that the last day was 3/23 this year.
it's most likely gonna be a wl but there's a chance of an A
if they are interviewing you, the like you

Interviewed in early March, my portal updated today with the following message:
“We hope you enjoy your visit to our campus. Your final Admissions Committee decision will be available shortly. Contact the admissions office at 305-243-3234 or [email protected] if you do not receive a telephone call, an e-mail or a letter within seven days.”

I'm in the same boat, I turned it in mid July and there hasn't been a single change to my portal or any updates at all. It's so frustrating
I emailed asking and they said app is awaiting review but like when are you going to review it? When the cycle is over and there’s no more interviews? Lol
This is my first time applying and I agree, I find it incredibly frustrating. Ive read that some schools just wait to send mass rejection emails all at once and im assuming that is what is happening here. Its insane to me how expensive this whole app process is and they just string us along. At this point I'm just operating under the assumption that ill be reapplying next cycle. I just wish I started restudying for the mcat sooner. I just assumed we would've heard something by now if we are getting the R.

Lol this is such a terrible process to go through. I don't want to spend 325 bucks to retake the mcat and end up getting in somewhere, but I guess the best bet is to assume we'll be reapplying if we haven't gotten any As yet. Miami is one of the few schools I have yet to hear from.
you're def not alone!! 2/3 of applicants don't get into any med school any given year so honestly we're in the majority. major congrats to those who made it tho! we'll be next our time will come <3
Don’t feel terrible - I know the process is awful but don’t feel too discouraged if you have to reapply. I applied last year with zero acceptances and reapplied this year (without even retaking the mcat) and ended up getting 11 interviews and 5+ acceptances (some to T20s). It’s honestly a crapshoot so keep your chin up!!

Would you mind saying what you think you did right this cycle and what may have led to your success?
same question for @TheLurkingPig !! and what was your mcat/what made you not retake it? I'm thinking that's my weakest point but I could be totally missing something else on my app
MCAT a 515 so not high and not low. Didnt retake because I didnt want to risk dropping lol. But honestly I think what helped me was I really focused my story and what areas of medicine I wanted to go into and geared all of my narratives to really reinforce that specific idea rather than the first time I applied it kept things pretty general. I also pre wrote my secondaries and tried to gear all my stories to each schools interests and for them in so so fast. Happy to chat more if you DM me 🙂

I was accepted end of Feb off WL and still haven't received my financial packet...I did my FAFSA, deposit, and acceptance agreement. Is there anything I'm missing or should I have received my finances by now? lowkey panicking
Weird. I interviewed in late February but my status still says:
"Your applications and interview report will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Decisions are usually made within 4-6 weeks of the interview. You will be notified by cell phone, e-mail and/or standard mail."
Does that mean I'm not getting a decision this week?
Generally starts happening around 5:30 PM or so EST

I got a phone call from a Broward county number and thought it would be from Miami because same region, but it just turns out my credit card was compromised. 😭
Same. I thought it was gonna be a call from UMiami but instead it was a burner from my girl saying she's on a "girls trip".

What does the portal say?
I think you’ll find out today.
I've been on the alternate list since the first round of admissions–is it truly still possible lol?
A! Got the call 20 min ago!
when did you interview?
my god what do I have to do to get off this infernal waitlist
ive been on it since like november and this is the only school i care about please spirit god of miami let me IN
to my other waitlist bacteria, this school doesnt allow us to ask for the waitlist quartile we are in, correct? since today is winding down, when can we expect to hear news regarding waitlist movement?

Got my first and only A of the cycle, just now! It's been a ride everyone and I can finally delete my account from this overwhelmingly neurotic and toxic forum.
Wishing you all the best of luck. Highly recommend sending a letter of intent soon for everyone still on the WL. Deuces!
